Having a whale of a time

A mama whale is comfortable where she is and in no hurry to go back to the ocean. She took a wrong turn with her calf and ended up in a river near the California/Oregon border. The calf has since found it's way back but the mother seems content to stay in spite of several attempts to coax her out to sea. She seems to be feeding from the bottom of the river and is looking healthy. Officials have decided to let her be for now and see what happens. whale
